Meanwhile, the Lions are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall and 4-0 ATS in the last four versus the NFC. Detroit is 6-2 ATS in their last eight after an ATS win.
PICK: I’m going with Seattle but probably staying away. The Seahawks didn’t do a terrible job offensively in the loss to the Falcons, posting 420 yards, 6.1 yards per play and 23 first downs. Seattle was pretty ineffective after halftime, though.
As for the Lions, they managed 416 yards with 23 first downs against the Vikings but went just 3-of-16 on third-down tries. Detroit was also shut down in the fourth quarter despite a pretty good run up until that point. This matchup should be a pretty good one, and I think the Seahawks can get in there.
